San Marino national team goes on strike two weeks before Euro qualifier

The San Marino national team has gone on strike after a dispute with the country's Football Association.

San Marino is scheduled to play Slovenia in qualifying for the 2016 European Championships on March 27, but that match could be jeopardy due to the strike, according to RTV San Marino Sport.

Soccer players in the European microstate recently formed a union, called L’AssociazioneSammarineseCalciatori (ASC). The strike was called because of a lack of dialogue between the union and the country's soccer leadership, the ASC said on Facebook.
